Re: [RE-wrenches] largest 240v GT inverter

[Chris Sparadeo]

If this site requires a new service, another option would be to have
the utility install 3-phase transformers and use higher capacity
inverters.  Now we're back to the CPS 60 kW...

Re: [RE-wrenches] largest 240v GT inverter

[jay]

Here are a few answers to ( thanks) the comments.

1. its already has a 400 amp 240v service, I don’t see that changing, loads are 
 not going up, they just want to add solar.

2. I would rather do 4 Primo 15’s at 1000v than, 8 SMA 7.7 at 600v, unless 
someone can convince me otherwise.

This project is still just in the talking stages, and is months out before 
anything even would begin to go forward with design.  I’m just trying to get 
ahead of the curve so I can have as many  design options as possible.

Definitely far easier with less strings and BOS for 1000 vdc. I have

 520-270-4873 HI All,


I'm wondering what the largest GT battery less inverter (and what people
recommend) for 240v 60hz is out there.

 I don't need MLPE, as project
would be ground mount, its large residential, potentially 60KW. 

 SE has
their 11.4KW, but I've heard lots of bad things about them recently. 

Fronius has a 10KW?

 Thanks in advance

[RE-wrenches] 240 commercial single phase

[frenergy]

Hey Folks,

            I'm coming into a least a couple small load 200 Amp/240 Vac 
single phase commercial jobs that need a Meter/main panel change-out 
that I can backfeed ~96 amps of solar onto.  Been using a Sq. D 'Solar 
Ready' panel for residential jobs but can't find equivalent for this 
type of /commercial/ power.  I'm in PG&E territory.


Suggestions appreciated.

Gary,

This application comes up on this list from time to time over the years. 
You may be able to review previous discussions by searching the Wrenches 
archives as well as responses you may receive. I know that Keeton

about 30 years ago I fought this problem,  Insulated the outside of the
tank, 2" floating blue styrofoam, cattle learn to pushdown to drink.  I
used a solar thermal collector with I don't remember the rest, but today I
would use a PV Panel.

[RE-wrenches] Passive geothermal stock watering

[Dana Orzel]

I have looked into this with solar thermal/electric & did not get any takers 
after clients looking at the overall cost most folks opted for a LPG fired unit 
or hauling water & or moving the stock closer to the grid.

 

There is a pretty cool unit that uses a geo thermal loop to 10’[?not sure & you 
need a back hoe to install this unit] to a pedestal with a ball & the stock 
learn to push the ball down to get to free water. Not sure of brand or cost but 
I had clients that installed in an open barn at 10,000’EL in CO, that swore by 
it. Pretty nifty, it does need to be braced well. I witnessed it in action for 
almost 20 years & did not hear of issues with it.

Using an air bubbler works well.

Gary,

Try these folks. They're based in Wisconsin and make almost everything 
in house.I'm sure they have something that can work for you.

They know a lot about aeration and de-icing.
